Tomorrow morning on February 17th, 2026 at 4:01 AM Pacific Standard time the New Moon /Solar Eclipse will occur at 28° 56’ of Aquarius. This marks the start of a new Lunar cycle. The New Moon also coincides with the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Horse as well as Shrove Tuesday/ Mardi Gras ; heralding Lent.
This is an augur of Profound Change and overall is a time of renewal !
Aquarius New Moon will also appear
as an annular solar eclipse; A “Ring of Fire “.
It will be visible over Antarctica,parts of the Southern Ocean,Tierra del Fuego, the Southern Cone of South America,South Georgia Island,, the Falkland Islands, and parts of southern coastal South Africa.
In astrology, this is a highly significant event: Some would say momentous.
The New Moon initiates a new Saros Eclipse cycle. We are now entering a series of eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius axis. These will continue through 2028 supported in great part by the ongoing Magic Triangle
( Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius). This eclipse activates the highest expression of the Water Bearer and accelerates Aquarian energies. We can expect major breakthroughs and some breakdowns regarding old outworn paradigms and anti life behaviors. Mental and Physical structures will rise …or fall as well.
We’ll see radical shifts in the Status Quo and new inventions, technology for All and an exposure (and potential collapse ) of the censorship surveillance Police State. We may rise up personally and collectively against The Status Quo, Injustice and for using AI as a control rather than for true snd FREE knowledge. Compassion, humanity altruism, and social justice will move to the Fore. True diversity, equity and inclusion rather than corporate quotas and looking good for the Cameras may appear.
New systems and ways of doing things, including innovative solutions to global problems, environmental concerns including pollution, decaying education, poor health and acknowledging the Magnetic Pole Excursion will be Possible. We will see more uprisings against The Powers That Be, a redefinition of group dynamics and a move towards a Higher collective consciousness (like they tried in the 60s )
Humanitarianism can replace transhumanism and a vision of a Better Future For All can be manifested through realism and constructive thinking towards long-term goals. Activation and actualization of new projects,new plans, new ideas, including sustainable business models, group endeavors, a digital transformation inclusive of All will become available. This can bring Advancement on multiple levels vs just for the Chosen Few.
We could expect some real powerful breakthroughs in medicine and New Technologies or Energies. The closer the degree to Pisces we feel a more compassionate and unified Age of Awakening. We now move Towards the true Age of Aquarius.
This eclipse falls in the latter degrees of Aquarius the Star and is the most Universal of the Zodiac. The Sabian Symbol for 28° of Aquarius is: A TREE IS FELLED AND SAWED TO ENSURE THE SUPPLY OF WOOD FOR ALL DURING THE WINTER. It signifies knowlege and skill used in its natural environment for the satisfaction of vital and Basic needs.
This is a zodiac degree that fosters evolution; our visions bring elements from a Higher Plane of Consciousness to the Here and Now. We’ll see Beyond illusion to a broader more elevated platform. SOMETHING BIG IS GETTING READY TO HAPPEN. Be Prepared.
There are no fixed stars in this mix, and this is a pure Sun/ Moon eclipse; as was said before not visible across most of the planet, but certainly will be felt. Not coincidentally Aquarius’ Ruler ( still in Stubborn yet earth shaking Taurus until April 25th) makes a Harsh Square to the New Moon Therefore Expect the unexpected, new developments, sudden realizations, reversal of position, and shocking events, a feeling of angst or instability along with highs and lows can ALL be experienced during this time because Uranus is nothing if not unpredictable and uncontrollable. It will expose weaknesses in our existing thought paradigms, exposing structures that are no longer fit for their carrying capacity and make it very difficult to deny or ignore what no longer serves what no longer works and what no longer fits. Repetitive or habitual negative thinking or behavior can fall away at this time in one sudden flash, inspiration or realization that they simply no longer work ! Say no to negative thinking and accept better ideas that more align with reality and hope for the future As emotional as this may sound don’t steep or dwell or drown in, feeling too much as Aquarius is cool like a cucumber for a reason, they move with logic and precision for a better vision tomorrow, this eclipse will actually help to build a foundation with the upcoming spectacular Saturn Neptune conjunction in just three days to make dreams come true they’re more than just pie in the sky ideas based on the solidity based on the certainty and based on the determination, make them real no more obscurantist mumbo jumbo, truthiness or BS and gaslighting ! Saturn is out of Pisces and TRUTH as well as non-attachment are the key
So what happens now? Relationships spilt on dependence and expectations un will require authentic an emotional over functioning fall The wind Level Survival base Perfectionism And constant degradation or self examination will collapse, we may see breaking points in people systems, and archaic structures They may no longer bear their emotional excess, spiritual dross or weight. This eclipse will begin a period of sweeping and prolonged as well as profound change for Humankind. I say Bring it On. To be forewarned is to be forearmed
